As far as Billy Cobham goes this one does it for me. The drums are spectacular check out the fills at 2.01 and 3.59......they're the dog's. The bass grooves nicely all the way through. Recorded in 1979. All round awesomeness!!!

I know this is synth bass, but there is a great groove going on and Bernard Wright's keys are superb.

Bernard Wright's debut album, 'Nard', when he was about fifteen, is one of the best for bass guitar ever. Well worth checking out.

Pete,

It was someone called Nathaniel Phillips. The album is called BC and is apparently very rare. Glad you enjoyed the track it is a belter!

Same guy is on this classic by Pleasure. There is some debate about the bass used. This sounds like a jazz bass to me and yet he was reputed to be a Ray user. Interesting!

[/quote]the old classic... good call.. Nate Phillips usually plays a Stingray.. but he without a doubt plays a jazz bass on this...
